FOL:Renouf,Watson(c),Dal Santo

INT:Trengove(power),Shiels,Guerra
SUB:Breust

Depth:Graham
Henderson
Hutchins
Foley
Day
Patfull
Dick
Kerr

Defense: Very young back line but all of these guys are gun players in the afl or for there team.I have my main two key backs in Pears and Reid.Stratton who can play on small or tall,Mackie who is a rebounding defender(but can play on talls).Harbrow who is a awesome rebounding defender and Gibbs who can be a rebounding defender,float into the midfield or play on a small.Trengove can also be rotated through there And guerra is a great defender and my most expirnced.My reserves for kpp defenders are strong in Patfull and Young Hutchins and Hendo can also play down there.

Midfield:My midfield is lead by the likes of Swan and Watson who are two of the best midfielders in the afl.Dal Santo is also a great midfielder.Young and Bennel both have that X factor.Ther both very pacey and young has a huge kick.Shiels is also one of the most improved players in the AFL and can only get better.Kerr and Foley are very expreinced and strong backups and players like gibbs and lewis can rotate through there.

Forward:Probaly my weakest spot.Walker will be a gun forward in a season or 2 at GWS ( :P ).Westoff also has great potenital but still needs to improve alot.My small fowards are very stong i belive in Shicnder,Matera and Monfries.and Lewis is a quality middie who moves into the forward line.My sub in Breust is a great sub because he is quick and can have an impact on the game in a short amount of time.In my reserves i have two great potenial blokes in henderson and Day and Dick is also in the reserves

Ruck:Brent Renouf is my number one ruck.Not the greatest ruck but he is fairly good and can only get better.I dont have a dedicated 2nd ruk in my best 22 but trengove is very capable at rucking and westoff can ruck as well.Graham is a quality Reserve

B: Broughton, Chaplin, Grima
HB: Hurn, H. Taylor, Maxwell (C)
C: Embley, Rich, Rischitelli
HF: Chapman, Franklin, Brennan
F: Watts, Petrie, Nahas
R: Z. Smith, A. Swallow (VC), Mitchell
I/C: H. Hartlett, Scotland, Vickery SUB: S. Hill

Depth: S. Martin, Gilham, J. Steven, C. Knights, T. Hunt, Laidler, R. Henderson, C. Dixon

Backline:
Probably a Key to my team. I have several Key Position Backman where, in the AFL, can never have enough Quality Backmen. Broughton is a great talent and is a solid running backman. He will get the small defender as will Hurn. Hurn will be my quarterback to boot the ball down the field. At anytime he is being tagged, Maxwell is the man out of defence, which he can do to great effect. Grima can play on talls or small so provide that added versatility down back. Chaplin and Harry Taylor bring up the spine of the my defence and can prove quite a duo. Chaplin gets the deep forward and Taylor has the ability to hold the CHF. And at anytime if they can't hold down their man, I can easily change Grima onto one of them. On the bench have Scotland who can play a disposal machine off half back if needed. With the depth I went with Gilham who is in the top 2 Key Defenders at Hawthorn and is a solid backup to Chaplin/Taylor. Add to that Stefan Martin as yet another Key Back option and it shows how strong it is even if injuries strike. Threw in the Youth of Laidler and Taylor Hunt and my backline is set for the entire 5 seasons easily. These two are turning into very poised backmen for their team and aren't afraid to take on the game.

Midfield:
Potentially the most lethal line. Embley and Riska bringing the ball on the wings will mean my runners will be my strong point by far. To back them up I also chose Hartlett and Hill will will certainly be quite a bit of added pace and will be Superstars in the near future with their talent. In and Unders on field is Andrew Swallow and Sam Mitchell, no explanation needed as they are great at getting the hard ball and arguably the in the top 10 in the AFL for inside midfielders. On the bench I also have Scotland who has the ability to run through the midfield not to mention Chapman and Brennan in the forwardline who can be just as lethal as anybody. Limited depth as the majority of my midfield are in the starting team. Jack Steven is turning into a consistent inside midfielder who can play small forward and kick a few goals. Ricky Henderson can play a little on the wings and same with Knights if needed.

Rucks:
I'd say my weakest point but they have the potential to be good for the overall dynamic of the team. Zac Smith has shown confidence and consistent ability to perform at AFL level in his first season. Certainly will only rise from here. To back him up have Petrie and Vickery on field. Having both these guys allow for easy rotation from forwards to part time ruck when Smith needs a rest. Works very well as have some experience in Petrie combined with the potential in Smith and Vickery. For added backup is Stefan Martin who is underrated. He has been a very good pinch-hitting ruckman. He may not be the best tap ruckman out there, but his work around the ground is phenomenal. Adding to that he's yet another versatile part-timer, it creates very flexible partnerships for Smith.

Forwardline:
I'd hope my Forwards would be the most lethal out there. Chapman, Buddy and Brennan on that Half forward will give most defenders nightmares. All are Gamebreakers and can't send all the attention to just one player without feeling the effects through the other two. Throw in Watts and Petrie and it's quite a tall lineup. This will trouble all defences when it comes to matchups. If they lack the talls, they'll get beaten in the air. Nahas as a forward pocket will do very well when he's crumbing to these two guys. Not to mention the pace of Buddy and Brennan, although they are tall, it's a very dangerous forward set up. Watts was chosen as he's got an abundance of potential and is just starting to show what he can do. Not to mention Vickery on the bench who could easily replace Petrie in time and that's quite a combo in the Key Forward department. Buddy + Watts + Vickery = Dominance in the Talls in 2 seasons. The depth sees Ricky Henderson, Knights and Jack Steven who can add another small to the setup if needed. Good options as if we need help for Nahas, can easily call any of the three up and we'll know what we are getting. Charlie Dixon was probably my worst pick of the draft (Due to picking him so early) but adds yet another Prospect in the Key Forward department making it one of the most backed up in the draft.

Maxwell gets Captain as he seems to set a great example for young players. He does his job and keeps pushing others around him, perfect for a Captain as he shows hard work pays off. Andrew Swallow gets Vice as he's a Captain in waiting 8).

Backline
My backline i feel is pretty solid i have a mix of young and old. B.Lake is the key i hope he would play like the B.Lake of last year and if he does he is the best FB in the AFL. N.Brown is one of the most promising CHB going at the moment he's already made a name for himself being able to hold some of the great CHF of the game. J.Gibson gives me a bit of versatilty with his ability to play on either big or small fowards. Having running players such as J.Adcock, J.Russell and G.Johncock running out of the backline it will hopefully give me plenty of rebound giving me quick suply to my forward line.

Midfield
I feel my midfield is extremely strong with Hayes, Thompson and Selwood in the middle it's going to be very hard for a team to beat them at the centre clearances. Also having Stanton and Wells out on the wings i am going to have plenty of run and drive into my forward line. The thing with my Midfield is the fact that while i have a few more experianced midfielders (L.Hayes, S.Black, S.Thompson) i also have the young players needed to keep my midfield very strong once there gone with J.Selwood (23), D.Swallow (18), L.Shuey (21), Cunnington (20) L.Jetta (22) .

Ruck
Both my ruckman are of good quaity with Jamar and MacIntosh so i'm happy in that department.

Forwards
I feel this is the Strongest part of My team first off having my HF line of S.Johnson, M.Pavlich and C.Sylvia just looking at those names all playing alongside each other is just mouth watering all these blokes speak for themselves. J.Kennedy one of the most promisingyoung FF in the game at the moment is just starting to really hit his straps and show exactly what he is capable of. Also having Ballantyne roving and niggling around in the forwad line just adds another dimension to this team.


I feel my team has that good mix of young old and players in there prime there are plenty of players who can rotate between all positions all over the field. L.Hayes is my captain with J.Selwood as my Vice Captain taking over when Hayes retires.

Last time im telling you hulmie but your missing a player from your list, plus you need to make another pick.

Thanks.
Caveman has messaged me, and he is really keen to muster up a team with the leftover players.
Is that ok with everyone? Ive also suggested to him that maybe he can take over from andrews pick and use his team?
Dont think Andrew is interested anymore anyway.

Doesn't seem like it seeing as he's been on so I'm fine with it.

Sounds good to me since Andrew has got some good players in there already. Need 9 players I think to finish that team off. I have some defenders that didn't go if you want C4 ;).

[c4v3m4n]

Pm those defenders HP. I might take them of your hands. ;)

* Electric crumbing forwards that can push into the midfield, 2 big key targets in Roo and the resting ruckmen Kruezer or Ryder
* Depth and youth on the bench and sizzling pace with Leroy Jetta as the sub
* Extended bench supplies depth and flexibility for matchups in all positions example going tall: McEvoy>Ruck, Ryder>CHB, Kruezer>FF
* Chris Judd captain is exemplary on and off the field, is a great foundation for strong culture, much like Trent Cotchin his successor

From what I've been told Marcz, only 5 years for this Dynasty :-X.

Should we do a poll in the Front Bar or do like a discussion on here on who would likely win each season of the 5?
